Tim Peake is overwhelmed by all the lovely messages from children and parents about the Principia mission. There are too many to answer individually but Tim asked to publish regular best-of overviews. So here goes:

Dear ESA, Is Tim's spacewalk going to be televised? My budding astronauts (& I) want to watch it if possible. Many thanks, Fran, Penny (aged 8 & Dominic (aged 6)

My daughter Laya, 6, is studying 'space' as a topic at school, and has made a picture she'd like to send to Tim smile emoticon

Hello, My four year old son, James Johnson, has been watching Stargazing on CBeebies, and once it had finished he drew a picture for 'the man in the spaceship' and wanted to send it to him. I explained that the postman wouldn't be able to give it to him but I did promise him that I would take a photo and see if I could find a way of sending it. I do not for one minute expect you to do anything with it, but I wanted to keep my promise to James. The programme was fantastic and kept him glued to the screen. Many thanks, Kelly.
